    I would think that manufacturers are making products for market demand otherwise they wouldn't be in business. Most people are recreational shooters and I think as the suppressor market grows it's not growing in the actual LEO/SEAL/Ranger/SWAT/Whatever arena....I would venture to say going forward the most suppressors are being bought by average joes who want to go pig hunting or whatever.

    Oh, agree on all counts.

    But I also know the firearms market, and need-to-spend-money exponentially outweighs actual-need/use. So the guy that thinks he wants "one size fits all" for his first can is likely to very quickly determine he wants more things to buy, and when those guys all reach that point at the same time they'll be clamoring for something else, and the market will adjust accordingly. Logic, reason, and rational thought are infrequently actual criteria in the consumer market. Emotion, ego, hole-in-soul, etc. are the real drivers.
